Harfbuzz is an entire font shaping stack. Doest it > take care of bidirectional text? Fribidi itself doesn't doesn't do glyph positioning, but supposedly your non-complex text rendering code path does that. HarfBuzz doesn't do bidi. You need both for a full text rendering system (or another bidi implementation). > What would You recommend to use in case described?

I suggest you start bringing up one of the Webkit ports that uses HarfBuzz already. Other than that, I'm afraid you are on your own. behdad > Kind Regards, > Jarek _______________________________________________ HarfBuzz mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/harfbuzz
